Chapter 214 Really Let Lillian Go
Heroic couldn't believe it, thinking that even five million would be too little for this.
Mia also stood up from the ground and rolled up Max's right sleeve.
“Lillian, Max loved you the most. See, this scar still shields you from getting hurt by Bob. There was a lot of bloodshed when this long scar was inflicted. Now, you wouldn't hesitate to part with five million, would you?”
There was a particularly shocking scar on Max's right arm, running from the forearm to the armpit.
It was indeed endured for Lillian.
For more than a year, Max lay there, his body weakened and his muscles atrophied, which only made his wound appear more severe. Lillian couldn't bear to see Max lying there, vulnerable to manipulation and humiliation, a coldness evident in her eyes.
"Don't touch Max!" she shouted.
She suddenly stepped forward, forcefully pulling Mia away.
Mia took two steps back, her lower back hitting the edge of the table, and she let out a cry of pain.
Beside her, Heroic, seeing Mia hurt, moved towards Lillian with anger, ready to strike.
Shirley had been by Lillian's side all along, and she couldn't let him succeed. She kicked Heroic out, who was not exactly weak, sending him flying out.
The ward was suddenly very noisy.
At the Frane Group.
Jackson, dressed in a deep gray suit, sat behind his desk with a dignified and composed air, as if he were attending to group matters as usual. However, instead of official documents, a diary was spread out in front of him.
It was the one Lillian had given him the day before, filled with her familiar handwriting detailing daily schedules, work plans, and sources of income.
Page by page, line by line, all bore witness to her hard work during this period.
Lillian had earned every penny through hard work.
At heart, he had always viewed Lillian as the unfortunate child unable to break free from the Frane Family.
Jackson had underestimated her. His daughter was much more remarkable and ruthless than he had anticipated. The money she had earned through hard work also demonstrated her determination to break away from him.
Jackson clenched his fingers on the diary page until his knuckles turned white.
At that moment, Terry suddenly walked in.
Jackson calmly closed the diary and put it in the drawer.
He looked up and asked, "What's the matter?"
Terry had been feeling anxious since yesterday, worried about saying something wrong and getting into trouble.
In contrast, Jackson had been surprisingly stable and calm since yesterday, almost as if he had just finalized a divorce.
However, the calmer Jackson appeared, the more terrified Terry felt.
He truly experienced the taste of worry and fear.
Particularly when he had to report matters concerning Mrs. Frane, he was unsure if he should have reported them at all.
But if he didn't report it, he feared the consequences would be even more unbearable for him.
He was in a tough spot.
Terry began to speak cautiously, "It's about Ms. Young. She..."
"Ms. Young? Who is Ms. Young?" Jackson coldly interrupted Terry.
Upon observing Jackson's reaction, Terry grasped his intention. He promptly and clearly conveyed, "It concerns Mrs. Frane. Hospital staff informed me that Mary brought Heroic and Mia to the hospital, resulting in a confrontation with Mrs. Frane."
In the past, Max had faced challenges at the hospital, prompting Jackson to instruct staff to notify him immediately of any problems.
So, the hospital staff called Terry now.
Terry breathed a sigh of relief after speaking, but he still felt uncertain.
Lillian insisted on divorcing and leaving the country, and she had already filed for divorce.
Would Jackson still like to intervene in Lillian's affairs?
Jackson had multiple options to prevent Lillian from leaving the country, but he had not taken any action recently.
Would he really let her go?
